Chapter 266 Return to Beijing triumphantly, be promoted to the first rank, and be named Zhong Yongbo!

One night passed.

The sun came out, shining brilliantly, and the weather became clear, just like everyone’s mood.

At this time, Ye Laixiang ran back and said, “I heard that you won. Not only did you defeat the Daxia army, but you also captured hundreds of thousands of surrendered troops, as well as that green-capped prince Xia Tianqiong!”

< p>
Lin Beifan nodded with a smile: “That’s right, we did win! The right time, the right place, and the right people, is there any reason to win?”

“Then have you met Daxia’s Grandmaster? It’s the old man in black who chased me down. He heard Daxia’s defeat on the way, and ran back in a hurry!” Ye Laixiang asked worriedly.

Lin Beifan shook his head: “I’m not sure, I haven’t met him anyway! But just in case, I plan to set off today and escort the prince Xia Qiong back to the capital!”

“You must be careful, the other party is a grand master with great strength!” Ye Laixiang urged.

“It’s okay. Although we are targeted by a grand master, we are not without backup!” Lin Beifan laughed.

“What’s behind?” Ye Laixiang asked.

“Aren’t you our backer?” Lin Beifan stood up with a smile, patted the stunned Ye Laixiang on the shoulder, and said, “When the other party comes down, you come on top!”

Ye Laixiang was in a hurry: “Hey, hey, I can’t stand it at all!”

“If you can’t stand it, you have to stand up! Who else can stand up if you don’t? It’s such a happy decision!” Lin Beifan left with a smile.

“Damn it!” Ye Laixiang was so frightened that her face turned green!

Around noon, Lin Beifan escorted Xia Tianqiong and set off for Beijing.

When they came, soldiers were extremely quick and in a hurry, and they didn’t dare to waste a second.

When going back, Lin Beifan wasn’t in a hurry at all, he took the boat back slowly, admiring the scenery along the way.

At this time, the news about the defeat of Daxia, the capture of Prince Daxia and 600,000 soldiers of Daxia gradually spread throughout the world.

The whole world was shocked!

“It’s only been less than 10 days, and the war between the two countries is over!”

“Great Wu actually relied on only 300,000 people, and defeated Daxia’s 800,000 troops in less than 10 days!”

“Not only defeated Da Xia, but also captured the opponent’s 600,000 soldiers, and even the prince of Da Xia who led the troops to fight was captured!”

“It is said that the casualties of Great Wu are only 20,000 to 30,000!”

“The weak defeated the strong, and won so beautifully! How did you do it?”

“It’s simply impossible!!!”

……

All the ambitious people were so scared that they couldn’t believe it!

So they sent people to inquire again and got more detailed battle reports.

There are several reasons why Great Wu was able to win.

First, Lin Beifan became the supervisor of the army and set out from the capital to quickly support Hulao Pass. It took three days to arrive, and 100,000 troops and a large amount of food were sent to strengthen the military strength of Hulao Pass.

Second, the Daxia army had some bad luck.

These days, there have always been strong winds blowing outside Hulao Pass. The Daxia army fought against the wind, and their strength was weakened by several percent.

On the last day, it actually rained heavily, which was even more detrimental to the Daxia army.

Thirdly, the former bandit Ye Lixiang performed very well in the war between the two countries, shocking the world in the first battle.

He actually killed all the innate masters of Daxia, and burned all their food. In the final battle, he even lured away the master who was guarding the prince, shortening the gap in strength between the two armies.

The record is brilliant and the meritorious service is outstanding.

Fourth, in the final battle, Lin Beifan made a decisive decision and sent a large army to intercept the Daxia army.

All these things lead to this brilliant victory!

Although it was a bit of a fluke for Great Wu to win, if he wins, he wins. His strength has not been weakened much. On the contrary, his morale has greatly increased and his strength has increased a lot.

Therefore, these ambitious people had to temporarily put away their minions and wait for the next opportunity.

Great Wu’s crisis has temporarily dissipated.

About 10 days later, Lin Beifan and others returned to the capital very smoothly.

On the same day, the common people who received the news all ran out of the city to welcome Lin Beifan’s triumphant return.

“We have won this battle, Lord Lin is back!”

“Thousands of miles in three days, defeated Daxia in less than 10 days, captured 600,000 troops, and even captured the prince of Daxia. Master Lin is amazing!”

“We Great Wu have not won so beautifully for a long time!”

“I don’t care about fighting, I just know that we have a good life again, haha!”

“Who said no!”

……

Ye Laixiang, who became a hero again, was very happy, and waved frequently, gaining a group of fans.

Lin Beifan also waved his hand, and at the same time he did not forget to smile at Xia Qiong next to him: “His Royal Highness, welcome to visit Great Wu’s capital again!”

Xia Tianqiong snorted coldly, his face was very ugly.

When I came here for the first time, I was a guest, and when I came here for the second time, I was a prisoner. No wonder I’m in a good mood!

The Empress also came, bringing the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to meet the victorious division.

Lin Beifan came to the Empress and said loudly: “Your Majesty, I have supported Hulao Pass for thousands of miles this time, defeated the Daxia soldiers and horses, captured 600,000 Daxia soldiers, and the Daxia prince Xia Qiong. Please pay attention !”

The empress was very excited: “Aiqing, you have done a good job, you have worked hard! And all my soldiers, you have worked hard too! You are all good friends of my Great Wu, and I will never forget you! Go back and rest first , I will definitely reward you a lot!”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Everyone said in unison.

Lin Beifan followed the empress and others back to the palace, and the next step is the real reward for meritorious deeds.

Lin Beifan wrote the army’s movements, battle results and losses, the merits and demerits of the generals, etc., into the memorial and presented it to the empress.

Although the Empress already knew about it, she was still very excited and happy.

You know, back then they didn’t know what a dangerous situation they were facing. If they made a mistake, they would collapse completely, and the country would be destroyed.

Lin Beifan took the order in the face of danger. In such a short period of time, at such a small price, he won an all-round victory and eased the dangerous situation of Great Wu. I can’t be too happy.

“Good, good! All the heroes in this memorial will be rewarded heavily!” The empress said excitedly: “During the Battle of Hulao Pass, the fourth-rank guard with a sword, Yumao Ye Laixiang, killed 35 innate powerhouses in Daxia. , Burned up all the food in Daxia, and also led away the Grandmaster of Daxia, which laid a huge foundation for our victory this time, and the credit is very huge!”

“So, Feng Yumao Ye Laixiang will continue to serve in Detian Mansion as a third-rank bodyguard with a knife! Reward ten thousand taels of gold, a top mansion, one hundred acres of fertile land, ten silks and satins each…”

A series of rewards came down.

It can be said that she gave everything except power, and beat Ye Laixiang dizzy.

Although he doesn’t care much about these things.

But receiving these rewards shows that the empress and the court recognize him very much. Isn’t this a great honor?

Oh my goodness, I can act aggressive in front of the common people again!

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Ye Laixiang said happily.  …

The Empress smiled and said, “Ye Aiqing, no matter what your past is or what you have done before, from today on you are my Great Wu’s person, and Great Wu will always be your home!”

Ye Laixiang nodded slightly, her nose was a little sour, and an emotion called a sense of belonging came to her heart.

Next, the empress rewarded one after another in terms of meritorious service.

Even the lowest-ranking soldiers were rewarded with 20 taels of silver.

You know, there are 300,000 troops dispatched this time, and each one will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver. These 300,000 people add up to 6 million taels, which can be said to be 10 taels of generosity.

Finally, it was Lin Beifan’s turn.

“Big Xia sent 800,000 troops to invade our Great Wu! All the vassals are ready to move, intending to disrupt the government! The surrounding countries are also restless, trying to carve up our Great Wu mountains and rivers, and the court is in danger!”

At such a critical juncture, Aiqing was ordered to support Hulao Pass thousands of miles away. In a very short period of time, she defeated the army of Daxia and captured 600,000 troops and the prince of Daxia! “

The empress was full of relief and admiration, and said with a smile: “Aiqing’s move is tantamount to saving my Great Wu, and the contribution is huge! Therefore, the official was promoted to a first-rank official, and he became a second-rank official of the imperial court, and continued to serve as governor of Detian Mansion. At the same time, he also serves as the Imperial College Jijiu!”

All the officials were shocked, and their hearts were full of envy.

You know, there is no prime minister in Great Wu, and the highest official positions are ministers of various ministries. They are all second-rank officials.

Now that Lin Beifan has been promoted to a first-rank official, he has become a second-rank official of the imperial court. He is already the highest official in the imperial court. He can completely sit on an equal footing with other ministers, and his power has been greatly extended outward.

However, thinking of Lin Beifan’s tremendous contributions, all of this is only natural.

Therefore, all the officials in the court can only be envious and jealous.

The empress went on to say: “Give me a title, and I am a loyal and brave uncle!”

Baiguan is not calm again!

This is a title!

Since the founding of Great Wu, only those who have made great achievements, especially those who have made military achievements, can obtain the title of knighthood!

At the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, there were many people who won titles!

But as the country stabilizes, fewer and fewer people can obtain titles!

Until now, almost no one has obtained it!

The title is linked to military exploits, and it is even more difficult for civil servants to obtain the title!

Currently, only Lin Beifan has the title of knighthood in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty!

Although the title has no real power, it is a huge honor, and the status is higher than others!

When I see Lin Beifan in the future, I will clap my hands and call “Uncle Zhongyong”!

Baiguan was very mad, the hatred in his heart!

You know, Lin Beifan is only in his early 20s, but he has already become a second-rank official in the imperial court, and he is in charge of Detian Mansion, an important place in the capital! Now there is another title, one rank higher than all officials, and it can be said that he is the first person in the court!

It’s only been a year, and I was ridden on the head by this bastard!

He couldn’t deal with him before. Isn’t he even more arrogant and frightened now?

Lin Beifan thought of promoting him to an official position.

But she never expected that the empress would confer a title on him.

Uncle Zhongyong, although he is only a small earl, he is still a title, a little bit higher than a hundred officials!

Now that he is a second-rank official and an earl, he has every chance to step on the heads of all officials and shit…

Thinking of that scene, Lin Beifan became a little excited!

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Lin Beifan said loudly, and then smiled triumphantly at all the officials.

The faces of all officials are very ugly.
